Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
What fees are usual in an independent contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor who is in the process of signing an agreement with a client. I am looking for more information about the fees that are usually associated with such an agreement. I want to make sure that I am aware of all the fees associated with the contract so that I do not encounter any surprises down the line.
Steven W.
There are no set fees that are in an independent contractor agreement. Generally, what is covered are the fees or costs associated with the work or project and they may also include expenses incurred related to the work or project, such as travel and/or accommodations.

SaaS Reseller Agreement
North Carolina
Can a SaaS reseller agreement be terminated by the software provider without cause?
Can a SaaS reseller agreement be terminated by the software provider without cause? I am a software reseller who has entered into a reseller agreement with a SaaS provider. The agreement does not specify any termination clauses or conditions, but it also does not explicitly state that the software provider can terminate the agreement without cause. Recently, the software provider informed me that they will be terminating the agreement without providing any specific reason. I am concerned about the potential impact on my business and want to understand if the software provider has the legal right to terminate the agreement without cause, and if so, what my options are moving forward.
Jeff G.
Hi. The answer is entirely dependent on the agreement’s language. Without seeing the contract, it’s impossible to give you a complete answer. Generally, an agreement can only be terminated by it’s own conditions, and absent a specific termination clause, it can usually be terminated either due to a breach of the agreement or by suing for breach and asking for termination as the result (so-called “equitable relief”). But with a reseller agreement, there are lots of new variables, as you’re not a user of the product… questions about to who and when you can resell., specific product versions, support provisions, etc. And there’s also a general prohibition against contracts of servitude, requiring an indefinite provision of personal services (which a SaaS contract could be argued to be). So again, the contract language is critical.

Business Contract
North Carolina
Business contract with a termination fee?
I am currently in the process of starting a business and I have been presented with a contract that includes a termination fee. I am not sure what obligations I have with respect to this fee and I would like to know what kind of legal implications I may be subject to in the event of a termination. I am also interested in exploring the potential for negotiation of this fee in order to ensure that I am not overpaying for services that I may no longer need.
N'kia N.
A termination fee is a payment that one party to a contract pays the other party for terminating the contract before it expires. The general purpose is to compensate the non-terminating party for resources used and/or opportunities missed as a result of entering into the contract that is then terminated early. A well-written termination fee clause will typically include the exact fee to be paid or, if not exact, a clear explanation of how the fee is to be calculated. Additionally, it will include a timeline for the payment(s). Unless the terms of the contract are otherwise contrary to law, the terminating party is presumed to be responsible for paying the stated sum at the stated time. While it is common for a business contract to contain a termination fee clause, a termination fee that is unreasonable under the circumstances is at risk of not being enforceable. However, disputing a termination fee clause can require a lot of the parties' time and money. Before signing a contract with a termination fee clause, all of the parties should be sure that they understand and agree with the clause. If you are considering signing a contract with a termination fee clause, you might have an attorney review it before you sign it. The attorney might even be able to assist you with negotiating changes, if needed or helpful.

Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
What are common pitfalls in contractor agreements?
I am a small business owner looking to hire an independent contractor to help with some of my workload. I am concerned about entering into an agreement with the contractor and would like to know more about common pitfalls in contractor agreements so that I can ensure I am entering into a fair and equitable arrangement.
N'kia N.
In North Carolina, there are numerous potential pitfalls for independent contractor agreements. A few general pitfalls include: 1. Classification: An independent contractor agreement should properly establish that the relationship is intended to be an independent contractor relationship (not an employment relationship). The agreement should include terms and conditions that make the intended nature of the relationship absolutely clear. 2. Compensation: An independent contractor agreement should properly address the contractor's compensation. The agreement should not include references to terms typically reserved for employment relationships (like "salary" or "exempt/non-exempt"). 3. Control: An independent contractor agreement should demonstrate that the hiring party will not control the contractor like it would an employee. The agreement should not include terms and conditions that unlawfully or unnecessarily limit the contractor's rights (like the right to provides services to other clients to generate independent income). 4. Criteria/Qualifications: An independent contractor agreement should establish that the contractor is qualified to provide the services "independently" i.e. without the hiring party providing training or supervision. The agreement should not include terms and conditions that demonstrate an improper degree of control (like probation, performance reviews, or discipline). There are also pitfalls that are based on such factors as the industry or nature of the hiring party's business, the nature of the services the contractor will be performing, or the nature of the relationship between the parties. To be fair and equitable, an independent contractor agreement must respect the various laws governing independent contractor relationships. For example, a worker should not be required to accept a role as an "independent contractor" if the hiring party intends to control the worker like an employee. A North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable of independent contractor relationships can assist with an independent contractor agreement. Consult with a knowledgeable attorney to help ensure you avoid some common pitfalls in independent contractor agreements.
Contracts
Letter of Intent
North Carolina
Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?
I am in the process of negotiating a business deal with another party, and we have exchanged a series of letters of intent outlining our intentions and basic terms of the agreement. However, I have heard conflicting opinions on whether a letter of intent is legally binding or merely a preliminary document. I want to understand the legal implications of these letters and whether they can be enforced in case of a breach by either party.
Jeff G.
Yes, they can, depending on how they’re written. Generally speaking, a promise to enter into an agreement isn’t binding. But the problem with most Letters of Intent is that they can sometimes contain all of the essential elements of a contract: offer, consideration, demonstration of capacity, and contracting for something it’s legal to contract for. So how is a Letter of Intent NOT a contract? You have to remove one of the elements, usually the offer or consideration. It has to say that it’s not an offer, for example - that it’s a negotiation document. And 99/100, LoI’s don’t say that at all.
